couldn't write lyrics until i sold my soul to Satan
had to wait on the side of the road for fucking ages
preacher man conveniently there said "moufy, be patient --
Lucy always makes it, you just gotta wait, kid"
went into the tower to find out what makes the clock chime
found a flock of birds and the bell ringer drinking boxed wine
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off

pick me up for dinner at promptly 11:30
tell me about what Mississippi said to Missouri
something 'bout the tone in your voice says "moufy, don't worry"
you would never hurt me, you barely deserve me
bought him for a buck and then she left him at the poorhouse
"i ain't never heard of that" said Alice to the Dormouse
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off

you said it all before
you don't own me like Lesley Gore
but you can buy my record for a fee at the convenience store like
cleanup in the candy section
mopping to pursue perfection
slobbering, convince baby-mommas they shoulda used protection

you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off

never remember fork and knife order at the table
talking to you with the new vocab i learned from cable
leave me at the doorway like Vivian and Clark Gable
nothing else to say, though
"frankly, you're an a-hole"
hide under the covers like chicken inside of won-tons
find you in the bedroom bedazzled and eating bon-bons
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off

i give you a note and then you ask for a glissando
tryna get to sleep but the neighbors keep shouting "mambo!"
watch you play me like fútbol norteamericano
formally i'm rondo
now my name is John Doe
maybe you'll come and open up the freezer to see me
then go to the cinema and park me in the cheap seats
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off

and when the morning comes
the warning in the form of roaring
won't let you keep snoring
while it's storytime with Edward Gorey
stacks of black and white but all the ink is running
let the sun in
take me home tonight and wrap me up
and stick me in the oven

you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off

you wanna take me around and maybe show me off etc.

and make sure you preheat
'cause, baby, i'm the best to eat when i'm crispy
won't you miss me
when all you got is sticky-sweet morning breath
and a plethora of mixed emotions
rub the potion on your teeth
and be rid of me
with a quick, cyclical motion

you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
you wanna take me around and maybe show me off
